Will they still make that god damn fucking high pitched electrical noise. I fucking hate that noise it comes on when the driver brakes, so sometimes he's braking for the whole trip and it's nothing but fucking EEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRR

Inverters cause that sound, converting DC to AC voltage, then regenerating power back to the overhead when breaking.

I saw the new car on the tracks between southland and heritage. I think it was just delivered last weekend. Looks pretty cool!

[thebuffalodude]

yup, you sure did the train should be inside Anderson garage in the next day or two

These things NEED air conditioning, so this is good news. I can't count how many times people have passed out from the heat. On a hot day, it's easily 10 degrees warmer on a train packed with people.

I agree totally about the seats , having to sit facing inward is pretty awful! Whoever designs the interiors certainly dont have to travel in them!

None of the Calgary Transit Management travel on Calgary Transit. They drive to work, and park in the free parking area for City Employees at your expense. You, the sheepeople, have to take transit. They are very good at dicatating how you should live your life, but they don't!

All the poor, new immigrants, and people that lost their drivers license. Not mention the homeless, and the dunk natives. What a great way to commute. Packed in like sardines, and it is not going to get any better by adding one more car. Enjoy your commute!!!

and in the winter its also comfy to get body heat from the other passengers.

it takes 1hour from Somerset to Sunnyside. I dont care standing all the way but do i have to feel your groin rub against my leg from where you get on at Anderson? so early in the morning i can almost feel you still have a piss-bone. You enjoy snuggling up to strangers in such a intimate way?

COMFORT? the suits who decided on these models NEVER use the train (who is this propaganda fooling?). It was designed to cram as much humans on as possible. the seats are 42cm apart which is just enough to accommodate the average Canadian buttocks with no regards to shoulder-width. Every 2nd person has to lean forward. This is Calgary's solution to deal with the peasants.

I like the sound when cars go over the track.
